Timebound EPUB Reader vs Readune

Timebound is a focused reader for your own DRM-free EPUBs — and a library of thousands of free classics to fill it. Import the books you already have — from Files, iCloud Drive, or AirDrop — and read them in a calm, page-turning view built for long stretches. Or browse the built-in Project Gutenberg catalog and download complete, public-domain classics — Austen, Melville, Shelley, and thousands more — free and yours to keep. • Browse and search thousands of free public-domain books, and download them in a tap • Adjustable typography: typeface, size, margins, line spacing, and justified or left-aligned text • Light, sepia, and dark reading themes, or match the system • Turn pages or scroll continuously • Search the full text of any book • Table of contents and tap-to-resume — always back to your exact place • A tidy library with cover, list, and grid views • See your place as a percent, a book-wide position, or a chapter page No store, no accounts, no DRM — just a nicer place to read the books that are already yours. Books in the catalog are provided by Project Gutenberg (gutenberg.org). Timebound is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Project Gutenberg. Catalog browsing relies on Project Gutenberg's public service and may be unavailable at times or change in a future update; the reader and your own imported books always work regardless.

Find the line you remember. Keep reading where it leads. Readune is an EPUB and PDF reader for the books you bring. Import your files, search across their text, or listen with Read Aloud. No Readune account is required. SEARCH ACROSS YOUR LIBRARY Remember a phrase but not the book? Search the indexed text of your library in one place. See matching passages grouped by book and jump into the text. Search and indexing happen on your device. Chinese text is searchable within sentences, too. BRING YOUR OWN BOOKS Read EPUB, PDF and comics in CBZ or CBR. Import TXT, HTML, Markdown, FB2 and unprotected MOBI or AZW3 files; supported conversions happen on your device. Add files from Files, the Share sheet, drag and drop, or Shortcuts. MAKE ROOM FOR READING Choose Light, Dark, Warm or an E-ink-inspired grayscale theme. Adjust text size, line spacing and margins for reflowable books. Use pages or continuous scrolling. The E-ink mode simulates a paperlike screen with reduced animation; it does not turn your display into E Ink hardware. LISTEN AT YOUR PACE Read Aloud uses available system voices, follows sentences and offers playback speed, a sleep timer, background audio and lock-screen controls. Voice availability varies by device and language. KEEP YOUR PLACE Use chapter navigation, bookmarks, in-book search and reading progress. Read comics in either direction. OPTIONAL READUNE PLUS Core importing, reading, library search and system Read Aloud work without Plus. Plus adds optional book-file sync through your own iCloud Drive, reading statistics and individual book themes. Choose a monthly or yearly subscription, or a lifetime purchase. Subscription payments are charged to your Apple Account; subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in your account settings. YOUR FILES, YOUR CHOICE No ads or tracking. Reading positions, bookmarks and preferences can sync through Apple’s iCloud key-value storage. Book files sync only when you enable Plus library sync. Readune does not operate a server that receives your books or searches. Bring your own DRM-free files. Books shown in screenshots are original illustrations of an imported library and are not included. Image-only books and scanned PDFs without a text layer are not full-text searchable; no OCR is included. Layout and Read Aloud support depend on the file.
